Machine Translation Reading List

This is a machine translation reading list maintained by the Tsinghua Natural Language Processing Group.

The past three decades have witnessed the rapid development of machine translation, especially for data-driven approaches such as statistical machine translation (SMT) and neural machine translation (NMT). Due to the dominance of NMT at the present time, priority is given to collecting important, up-to-date NMT papers. The list is still incomplete and the categorization might be inappropriate. Each paper is given its Google Scholar citation count, which will be updated monthly.

We will keep adding papers and improving the list. Any suggestions are welcome!
